codemap-javascript 0.4.0

JavaScript / JSX indexer plugin for CodeMap (https://github.com/qxbyte/codemap)

codemap-javascript

A JavaScript / JSX indexer for CodeMap, distributed as an independent PyPI package.

What this package covers

Extension	Grammar	Notes
.js	tree-sitter-javascript	Plain JavaScript
.jsx	tree-sitter-javascript	React-style JSX (the grammar handles JSX natively)
.mjs	tree-sitter-javascript	ES module
.cjs	tree-sitter-javascript	CommonJS module

A single grammar instance handles all four extensions — .jsx is not a separate grammar in tree-sitter-javascript.

Install

pip install codemap-javascript

After installation, codemap doctor lists javascript alongside the built-in indexers (ADR-004 + ADR-L001).

What it captures

Backed by tree-sitter-javascript. Single-file, no cross-file resolution:

AST node	Symbol kind	SymbolID descriptor
function_declaration	function	<path>/name().
class_declaration	class	<path>/Cls#
method_definition (inside class)	method	<path>/Cls#name().
Top-level const / let / var	variable	<path>/Name.

Edges:

• import_statement is read for future cross-module bridge consumption, but no edge is emitted at the module top-level (parity with the TypeScript plugin).

SymbolID encoding

scip-javascript . . . src/app/Service.js/UserService#login().
└─────────────┘     └──────────────────────────────────────┘
     scheme              file → namespaces / type / method

Why a separate plugin (vs. extending codemap-typescript)

TypeScript is a syntactic superset of JavaScript, so tree-sitter-typescript can parse most .js / .jsx files. We ship a dedicated plugin instead for three reasons:

1. Clean dependency: codemap-javascript does not depend on tree-sitter-typescript. Users who only have JavaScript code do not need the larger grammar.
2. JS-specific error recovery: when a .js file has a syntax error, the JavaScript grammar's error nodes point at JS-shaped tokens rather than TS-shaped ones, which produces tighter diagnostics.
3. Independent versioning: JS language updates (decorators, class fields, RegExp v flag) can ship at their own cadence without bumping the TypeScript plugin.

For pure type-extraction purposes the two plugins produce equivalent symbol output for .js / .jsx files. Install whichever matches your codebase; install both if you have a mixed code-base.

Tests

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest

Limits / next steps

• No cross-file import resolution. A javascript_cross_module bridge, sibling to python_cross_module, would be a future addition.
• Arrow functions assigned to top-level const are indexed as variable, not function — matching the TypeScript plugin. Named arrow detection across both plugins is a v0.2.x improvement.
• JSX-specific component patterns are not yet captured beyond the underlying function/class symbols.
